Dunhill London (2008)
by Dunhill

Initially, I liked this one....after purchasing blindly (at a discout price). Kinda sweet and powerdy, not as sophisticated as I would expect from something called "London". Does not last long - and I can't remember anyone complimenting me on it...not even my wife.
I wore it for several months until the bottle was gone, and never really felt as if it was a standout. I might try it again in the summer, but for now it's a retired fragrance for me.

Saccharin-sweet toilet freshener comes to mind when freshly sprayed onto the skin. Dries down to a overtly feminine and dud scent that could not even be passed for metrosexual. The concept behind this fragrance is confused, and I can honestly see no place for it in any of the prevalent demographics of London.

Perhaps they should have called it: 'Dunhill Brighton' or something.

When I first smelt this I thought it was just another of the sweet smelling newbies that seemed to be popular 2 years ago. In fact I didn't like it much as it seemed to develop a stagnant or 'off' note. But it intrigued me to seek out a sample vial. After a few more tries I found myself wanting a bottle. I have worn this in 2009 more than any other fragrance and get nothing but compliments on it. Girls like it especially. A lovely, lovely soft vanilla, rose, apple, light wood and vague 'metallic-ness'. It is quite light though and longevity isn't great - maybe 3 hours - but I can safely say I adore this one.

You know, I have received nothing but compliments on this one.. I like it, but it certainly one that I wouldn't wear everyday.

So this is London? I think not ! Rubbish offering from a once mighty fragrance house. James Bond was described as wearing Dunhill in the early days. Not a chance he'd be associated with it today. This is sweet, rose, nonsense which has no quality and is overly synthetic smelling. Flop.
